The Letter is up

and possibly new field music?

I noticed that (the music was on the old site for 2 years)... maybe they'll add new music in various parts of the region?

Those weren't new weaponskills, just new animations. The lancer used Chaos Thrust.

I love the new Rage of Halone and the new Chaos Thrust, but why on earth would they not preview Archer's auto-attack?

A part of me knew that they were going to delay the patch, but it's ok as long 1.18 is huge(and I do mean huge like 1GB) and contains a lot of content/changes(hopefully materia system/job system). As for the video, I mean it looks like auto-attack, just slightly faster which I like. Also it looks like there are new animations which is awesome and possibly new field music? Anyway I want them to take their time, get things perfect. I know there other MMOs coming out, but I rather them not rush things like they did with the retail release. I want 1.18 to be a new beginning for FFXIV.

Agreed. I'll take the extra two weeks to let them test and tweak rather than get an incomplete patch. Also, check out the new icons for the abilities and the timers on them! It's all lookin' nice. Though I'm curious when they'll be implementing the changes that let us see ALL of our action bars at once, but I believe in the video your original action bar was already up before switching modes, so I think they added that.

Err, yes, that's what I meant. Excuse me ^^;

Pretty sure ARC is going to work just like XI. The only class that really isn't affected by auto attack.

I am somewhat upset there is no news on jobs though. Cool to see that PUG is getting some THF style abilities though.

What are you talking about? Blindside is new?

[Chronic]

And the glad was Rage of Halone i believe

[Ennvy]

That cool. A couple nice WS moves and buh bye stamia bar XD

EDIT: oh well. the new animation for the ws looks cool still.

[Adol]

Yup, new Weapon Skills. I'm excited to see they still have some awesome creativity up their sleeves.

These weapon skills are actually already in the game (such a rage of halone etc). What we see is graphical enhancements for them in the video.

Edit: Beaten to it.
